Mikkos For Great Japanese Food

I've never reviewed Mikkos, one of my favorite Japanese restaurants.  They have two locations:  one on Carlsbad Village Drive near the 5 Freeway, the other, newer location, on Main Street in Vista.  We frequent the Vista location often.  It is good, fresh, and very reasonable.

The best part of Mikkos is that my husband Ron, who does not really like Japanese food, LOVES this place.  It's not just sushi, although the sushi is excellent.  During the evening there are four sushi chefs working furiously to send out delicious rolls, nigiri and sashami.  Mikkos has tempura, and Ron usually gets the tempura dinner for $9.95.  A cup of miso soup, and delicious, fresh salad, rice, and a piled high plate of shrimp and vegetable tempura.  Ron can't possibly eat it all, so I have his soup, and some of the vegetable tempura (he doesn't like the sweet potato).  Then I get a sushi roll, and we've got a feast.  And cheap!   We love Mikkos.

Mikkos also offers noodle dishes, ramen, poke bowls and teriyaki bowls.  So much to choose from, so even for those that don't like Japanese food, there are options.  Hope you get a chance to try it soon.  By the way, it's also great for lunch.  You can get a bento box for $9.95 which includes soup, salad, two pieces of sushi and a meat option, like sesame chicken and rice.  Great value.
